Whitehouse Cybersecurity Strategy - Software Liability and a Path Forward

CISOs are facing an increasingly complex, dangerous, and difficult digital landscape. Software supply chain attacks have increased an average 742% each year since 2019. The average cost of a data breach is an astounding $4.35 million–not to mention the potential shareholder lawsuits, loss of customers, and damage to brand reputation. And earlier this month, The White House released a new cybersecurity strategy that calls for greater cybersecurity liability and holding software providers responsible for insecure products released to consumers. Meaning, it’s now an organizational imperative at the highest level to get serious about securing your software supply chain.
